“Mob Wives Chicago” star Pia Rizza heard there were naked photos of her being shopped around. So what did she do? She decided to leak them herself.

Rizza told TMZ she plans to leak her own naked photos before the press snatches them up and she doesn’t benefit from them.

According to the “Mob Wives” star, she took the nude pictures last year and sent them to her boyfriend asking if she could ever grace the pages of Playboy magazine. But Rizza said the photos were obtained by someone who was threating to sell the images, without her permission, to various media outlets.

That’s when the reality actress decided to take matters into her own hands and release the images to TMZ herself, which you can view on the website with censors. She said now that she distributed her own photos, she gets to receive the profit. Plus, she’s vying for attention from Playboy.

As of Monday afternoon, a spread in Playboy isn’t looking too promising for Rizza. After more than 34,000 votes on TMZ, 65 percent of viewers do not believe Rizza is “Playboy material.”

Rizza, the daughter of Vincent Rizza, stars on VH1’s “Mob Wives Chicago,” which back in October was not renewed for a second season. At the time last year, Rizza tweeted, “MobWivesChicago is over now I dont see the need to keep reliving the drama that killed the show time 2 move forward new chapter new time.”
